Imploding the Mirage is the upcoming sixth studio album by American rock band the Killers. It is scheduled to be released through Island Records in 2020.[2] It was preceded by the lead single "Caution", released on March 13, 2020.[3] The band will embark on a world tour in support of the album, although they have since delayed ticket sales due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[4]

Background

The band formally announced the album on social media on November 15, 2019. Frontman Brandon Flowers told NME that the band went to Utah to record part of the album as it was where Flowers "fell in love with music for the first time", also saying that it was "interesting to be there again and hear some of that music with the geography matching the sensation. Some of that stuff is starting to resurface and a lot of that had to do with synthesizer music. It's always been part of our DNA but it's definitely creeping up."[5]

The album cover is "Dance of the Wind and Storm" by American artist Thomas Blackshear.

Recording

Imploding the Mirage was recorded in various locations, including in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Park City, Utah, and produced by Canadian producer Shawn Everett, and Jonathan Rado of the band Foxygen. It features contributions from Lindsey Buckingham ("Caution"),[2] k.d. lang, Weyes Blood ("My God"), Adam Granduciel from The War on Drugs, Blake Mills and Lucius.[3]

Track listing

The album will feature 10 tracks. Adapted from Apple Music and the band's Twitter account.[6][7]
